The Age of Rebirth: Winning since the educated youth went to the countryside

There is no sun outside at noon today, but there are gusts of cold wind blowing, which makes people feel a little cold on their necks.

I didn’t go outside when I was eating, so I kept the door open and settled it in the living room.

Although the room was a bit dark, with the light coming from the skylight, it was no problem to have a meal.

Zhou Ziwen originally planned to go to the mountains in the afternoon, but after lunch, it suddenly started snowing outside, and his plan was naturally in vain.

"Wow, Brother Ziwen, it's snowing, come out and take a look."

Just after finishing the meal, Chen Qiaoyi's cheers sounded outside.

"It's really snowing."

Zhou Ziwen also walked out. There was already a layer of white snow on the ground outside. Because there was too little, it looked a bit like frost.

"You guys stay at home for now, I'll go to the county town."

Zhou Ziwen didn't take any rest. He went home and rode his bicycle to the county seat.

While the snow was not heavy yet, he planned to buy carpenter tools first.

In a few days, his carpentry skills will be upgraded, and by then he will be able to work in the house even in heavy snow.

Racing all the way, it only took him a quarter of an hour to arrive at the county seat.

When he arrived in the county seat, Zhou Ziwen went straight to the supply and marketing cooperative and bought a set of woodworking tools.

Hand saw, wood planer, wood file, hand chisel, wood sandpaper...

I bought a series of tools for nearly twenty yuan.

But these are just for food and can be used for a lifetime. Zhou Ziwen doesn't feel bad about spending time with them.

After buying carpenter tools, he bought some snacks for the two sisters, and then headed back home.

He rode a bicycle very fast by himself, and when he got home, not long had passed.

This trip, plus the time for shopping, only lasts forty-five minutes at most.

Back home, Zhou Ziwen played with the carpenter tools he bought.

These tools are all new and will probably take a while to get used to.

However, his carpentry skills have not yet started. Although he is somewhat familiar with these tools, it is still difficult to actually use them.

In fact, carpenters and masons also have things in common, such as wood planers and hand chisels. The use of these tools is similar to that of masons' chisels, except that one is used to process wood and the other is used to process stone.

After putting away the tools, Zhou Ziwen went outside the yard. The snow outside was not heavy, just like the usual light rain. However, after it had been raining for a while, the ground was covered with a thin layer of snow. When he stepped on it, he made a sound. A rustling sound.

"It seems that we can't go up the mountain today." Zhou Ziwen looked at the sky and thought to himself that it was a pity.

Fortunately, we had a good harvest this morning, including a few hares, a chicken and a snake.

Including the remaining wild boar meat at home, even one pound of meat a day is enough to last for several months.

"Yiyi, remember to wear more clothes. It's snowing and you need to cool down, but don't catch a cold."

Zhou Ziwen came to the next room. One of the two sisters was knitting a sweater, and the other was watching.

Well, Chen Qiaoyi is the one watching.

"Brother Ziwen, I added some clothes." Chen Qiaoyi held up the clothes around her neck, revealing her white and delicate collarbones.

"Well, three pieces of clothes, not bad." Zhou Ziwen nodded with satisfaction, not sure whether he was talking about the clothes or the person.

"Brother Ziwen, please wear more clothes!" Chen Qiaoyi said with concern.

"Yeah." Zhou Ziwen nodded.

Although with his physical fitness, he can barely resist even if he wears a shirt in winter.

But who wants to be cold if it can be warmer!

It's not the coldest time yet. When it gets the coldest, it will be difficult to poop.

It was still snowing outside, and Zhou Ziwen couldn't go out. After thinking about it, he simply returned home and lay on the kang to take a nap.

This is how you spend the winter in Heijiang. It's too cold outside and you have to keep your cat at home. This is cat winter.

When he woke up, Zhou Ziwen came outside the house. It was still snowing outside. It seemed that it was not going to stop today.

Zhou Ziwen washed his face and began to deal with the hare he caught in the morning.

After skinning and removing the dirt, it was already two hours later when he finished handling the hares.

In fact, it's good to have snow, at least you don't have to worry about spoiling the meat.

Zhou Ziwen took a basin, filled some snow outside, and froze the treated hare.

It is expected that there will be a lot of snow in the next period of time, and a little bit of snow is a natural refrigerator.

"Brother Ziwen, let's build a snowman!"

At this time, Chen Qiaoyi ran over from next door excitedly.

As a Hangzhou native, have you ever seen such a scene?

No, there has just been some snow on the ground, and this girl wants to play.

"Let's wait until the snow stops outside!" Zhou Ziwen was used to this kind of scene, and he was not interested in building a snowman or anything like that.

"How long will it take for the snow to stop?" Chen Qiaoyi's interest continued.

Snowing is a very novel thing for her. Here, while talking to him, this girl is holding a ball of snow in her hand and playing with it!

"I guess it will stop tomorrow!" Zhou Ziwen looked outside.

The snow outside has no intention of stopping, but this is the first snow this year. It will probably fall again tonight and stop tomorrow.

"Ziwen, you can get this snake meat, I'm afraid it won't work well."

While Zhou Ziwen and Chen Qiaoyi were talking, Chen Shiying's voice sounded outside.

"Okay, here we go."

Zhou Ziwen was secretly amused. This sister-in-law couldn't handle it. She was simply afraid of snakes.

Saying it can't be done is just an excuse.

When she came to the kitchen, Chen Shiying had already taken care of the pheasant, and only the headless snake was still in the basin.

Zhou Ziwen took the snake outside, hung it under the iron hook under the eaves, and began to remove the internal organs.

Zhou Ziwen's technique was superb, and he was able to process the snake meat in three strokes, five strokes, and two strokes.

After getting it to the kitchen and cleaning it, he went to the end and cut the snake meat into pieces, then put it together with the pheasant meat and prepared it for the pot.

"Ziwen, are you stewing outside today too?"

Chen Shiying asked.

"Well, it's better to take it outside to stew."

According to the tradition of the older generation, stewed snake meat cannot be stewed at home. Zhou Ziwen followed the local customs and decided to stew it outside.

Anyway, it’s just a stove, which is very convenient.

As for it's still snowing outside, it doesn't matter. When the fire starts, the little snow will naturally melt.

Seeing that it was getting late and the dragon and phoenix soup had to simmer for a while, Zhou Ziwen went outside the yard, rebuilt the stones used to make the stove last time, picked up some dry firewood under the eaves, and started to light the fire.

After a while, the fire started.

Zhou Ziwen took out the dragon and phoenix soup, put it on the stove and started simmering it.

"Brother Zhou, I have some eggs here. You can add them to the eggs and cook them together! The eggs cooked with snake meat are delicious!"

Seeing Zhou Ziwen busy outside, Shen Zhaodi from next door came over with some eggs.

"Okay, just put it inside."

There is still cold water in the pot at this moment, which is just right for boiling eggs. If you wait for the water to boil, you have to boil the eggs in white water before putting them in.
